Workshop "Unlocking Carbon Market Opportunities in Serbia’s Forestry Sector: Current Landscape and Planned Developments for the Road Ahead"

Belgrade (Serbia), Hybrid Event, 05/03/2026

This hybrid workshop aims to establish and clearly define the institutional landscape of supply and demand within carbon market mechanisms (Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and the Voluntary Carbon Market), while setting realistic expectations regarding opportunities, challenges and risks. It will also present a conceptual model and roadmap for the development of carbon markets in Serbia, with a particular focus on the forestry sector. In addition, the workshop will serve as a platform to gather feedback and recommendations from relevant institutions and forestry experts to further refine and strengthen the planned activities, as well as to foster connections among key identified stakeholders.

 

The workshop is organized within the framework of the project “Enhancing the resilience of Serbian forests to ensure energy security of the most vulnerable while contributing to their livelihoods and carbon sequestration (FOREST Invest)”, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management and the public enterprises “Srbijašume” and “Vojvodinašume”, with financial support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and co-financing from the Government of Serbia and FAO.
